Ecklar - Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in Wheaton, Illinois

Ecklar is a big, solid girl with incredibly soft fur and an even softer personality! This friendly gal absolutely loves being in your lap and is always happy to settle in for some quality cuddle time.

When she's not lounging with her favorite person, Ecklar loves to play and watch the world go by through the window. She's curious about what her humans are eating and may give your plate an interested look, but she's a polite lady who leaves your food alone. She also has great manners around doors and isn't one to rush outside.

Ecklar is a great eater and has excellent litter box habits. One of her cutest little features is her long tail, which has a slight kink near the end that gives her some extra character.

Sweet, playful, well-mannered, and full of charm, Ecklar is ready to find a home where she can claim a favorite window, a collection of toys, and, most importantly, a lap to call her own.
